In this April 18, 2013, photo, a model of a space shuttle is displayed in the lobby of the Mangyongdae Children’s Palace in Pyongyang, North Korea. Words on the space shuttle reads “Roundtrip path to space” and “youth” on the bottom. The Unha 3 rocket that launched the “Bright Star” satellite into space in 2012 is a symbol of North Korea’s technological successes and a matter of great national pride. The country plans another launch to put Earth observation satellite into orbit in February, 2016. Although the equipment it will use is not yet known, the launch could also advance its military-use missile technology further. (AP Photo/Alexander F. Yuan)
